All lights blinking. No service. CM500
All lights are green and the service is still spotty. The ISP isn’t much help. What should I do? I’ve done plenty of reboots.

Try a factory reset by pressing the reset button in back for 10 seconds then release?
What's the brand and model of the external wifi router connected to the CM modem?

Are you accessing 192.168.100.1 for the modems web page?
Might try connecting a wired PC directly to the back of the modem with out the router in the middle to see if you can gain access the modems web page.

Ask the ISP to turn up the power to a good middle ground value as seen in the spec.
